Community Information

transportation housing diversity environment

My community lives around Lake Wingra and the UW Arboretum, and it is a focal point of many of our year-round adventures. We also live on or near Monroe Street and value the vibrant shopping and restaurants there.

My community is mostly white, and this is due in large part to the history of racially discriminatory real estate practices in this neighborhood. My perception of the age range is that most people are young families or retirees. There aren't a ton of students who live in this neighborhood, but there are a few recent grads in the apartments.

My community is very concerned about salt and other contaminants polluting Lake Wingra. It's the focal point of recreation in this neighborhood and each year the water quality is getting worse, affecting fishing, swimming, birding, and paddling opportunities. Economically, most people in this neighborhood work somewhere else (on UW's campus or downtown or in suburban office parks).

Our community needs to be united around protecting Lake Wingra. Since football Saturdays also affect this community, Camp Randall should probably be included.
